Have you had sexual intercourse with someone who has, or may have, gonorrhea or chlamydia?

Has there been a recent change in your brand of soap, detergent, or fabric softener?

Have you had surgery or radiation to your urinary or sexual organs?

A urinalysis will be done. A urine culture may be ordered. If you have had a previous bladder or kidney infection, a more detailed history and physical are needed. Extra lab tests will also be needed. A pelvic exam and exam of vaginal fluids are needed for women and girls who have vaginal discharge. Men who have discharge from the penis will need to have a urethral swab done.
